Chapter 1261 Trading with Alian

This year's first-round pick in the hands of the Warriors is the 11th pick. There are definitely no good insiders at this position, and the Warriors are currently short of insiders.

The Warriors now have David Lee inside, but Biedrins, the starting center, is no longer good. He can only play just over 20 minutes per game this season, with 5+7 data, and the backup center is only a marginal player. He is in urgent need of a good one. Insider.

If Kwame Brown can be traded, it would be good to replace Biedrins. Milicic can be David Lee's substitute.

He wants to trade the first-round pick in 2012. Anyway, these two years are small draft years, so he shouldn't lose money.

"2012 first-round pick, top-five protection, do you agree?" Half an hour later, he called David Griffin.

"Top three." David Griffin began to counteroffer.

"No, no, just the top five." Mullin insisted.

"It's a two-for-one deal. A No. 1 pick and a No. 2 pick in exchange for a first-round pick from a young year. You can't be in the top five, only the top three."

David Griffin insisted.

Finally, Mullin nodded.

The Suns used two major parallel imports to trade for the Warriors' top-three protected first-round pick in 2012. In addition, to match the transaction, the Warriors sent Jeremy Lin, the undrafted draft pick in 2010.

Having secured two major parallel imports, David Griffin is in high spirits.

However, the contract cannot be approved until the trade window opens, which is after the draft.

He calculated that the current team still had eight players with contracts and five first-round picks in hand, which added up to thirteen. Then adding the Hammers and Yi, there were exactly fifteen, and he stopped. Trade and start preparing for the draft.

Next, he made another deal, reaching a deal with the Magic. Hido returned to the Magic in exchange for role player Brandon Rose, a short power forward.

He is only 203 centimeters tall in shoes. He plays tough in the low post, has mid-range shooting ability, breakthrough and finishing ability, but his rebounding ability is average, his defense is average, and his assist defense ability is not good. In the 2010-11 season, he scored 11+5.

David Griffin traded this short power forward, firstly because of his small ball style, and secondly to prepare for the possibility that the UAE will leave the Suns.

Because Hedo's contract reached tens of millions, which was higher than Rose's, the Suns gave the Magic a first-round pick. It was the Lakers' unprotected first-round pick in 2012 and was of little value.

The reason why the Magic traded Rose was to hoard draft picks for reconstruction.

This transaction also has to wait for the transaction window to open before it can be officially established.

On the 20th, Gao Yuanyuan and David Griffin met at the Phoenix Senbei restaurant.

"There's no need to talk about Hammer. I believe Mr. Sarver has told you about Hammer's attitude. Let's just talk about Yi's contract."

Gao Yuanyuan said.

"OK, this is the new contract I prepared for Yi. Gao, you can take a look at it first. If you are not satisfied, we can discuss it later. We very much hope that Yi can stay."

David Griffin said as he handed over a contract.

"65 million in five years?" Gao Yuanyuan directly turned to the page of the contract amount.

David Griffin looked at Gao Yuanyuan, hoping that the other party would nod.

But he was disappointed. Gao Yuanyuan shook his head and said: "I have received several contracts. I mean the Suns are the lowest among teams that have the potential to win the championship."

David Griffin was stunned and quickly said: "We can still discuss it, there is no problem. So high, what do you mean?"

Gao Yuanyuan said: "In the past season, Yi played 74 games, averaging 30 minutes per game, 18 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.7 blocks per game. Judging from this data, this contract is not worthy of it. he.

And Mr. Griffin, you have to know that the league currently lacks a forward with both offense and defense like him. He can also defend to the three-point line and make quick plays. He has higher value.

More importantly, he is the absolute main inside player in the second dynasty of the Suns. He has rich experience in the playoffs and finals. His value far exceeds this contract. "

David Griffin nodded and said: "You are right, Gao. I think so too. Yi did perform exceptionally well in defending our dynasty."

Gao Yuanyuan said: "90 million in five years, 4+1, player options, this is a contract I can accept."

David Griffin was stunned. Isn’t this too high? This is already a superstar's contract.

Seeing David Griffin's hesitation, Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said: "Mr. Griffin, you have to consider the commercial value that Yi brings. Although Hammer is here, Yi is also very popular in our country. . You get a lot of sponsorship money from our country every year, right?”

David Griffin forced a smile and nodded.

Although he is not responsible for operations, the situation is still known. Companies from China provide large sponsorship fees to Sun every year.

"Well, Mr. Griffin, you think about it first, and I also want to talk to other teams." Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.

She then took the initiative to end the meeting.

This time when I come to the United States, the UAE's contract is not in a hurry because the labor agreement has not yet ended. As a rule, we have to wait until the new agreement comes out before signing a new contract.

She is not in a hurry about Li Ba's contract, and this year's draft is not the focus. She is here to attend an important meeting of the American Wine Association this year.

Last year, Senbei Trading’s domestic grape sales accounted for half of the U.S. exports to China, which shocked the U.S. wine industry. Senbei Winery also used this to expand its position in the industry and stand out from the top ten wineries. , both in terms of its valuation and its influence, it has become one of the leaders.

Participating in this meeting shows that Senbei Winery and Senbei Trading already have a certain say in the American wine industry.

Gao Yuanyuan is very clear about his bargaining chip, which is the sales channel, which is what the American wine industry drools over.

After a night's rest in Phoenix, on the 21st, she and Liu Qian brought some people from the investment team to Senbei Castle.

"We have now established the largest sales channel in the country. This time I am here to control the supply of goods. At this stage of the surge in the domestic wine market, we must try to expand our share and have the greatest say, and then use the domestic wine market. market share to achieve the strategic goal of having a voice in the U.S. wine industry.”

Gao Yuanyuan said.

"Yuanyuan, what is your final position on the senbei trade?" Li Ba asked.

"Use the huge domestic market to become the top of the world's wine industry." Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.

"Then let's win over the top ten wineries in Napa Valley first. They have contacted me a long time ago and hope to enter the domestic market through our channels."

Liu Qian smiled excitedly.

"Without our channels, how could they get in?" Gao Yuanyuan said with a faint smile.

Li Ba and the girl smiled. Once American wine enters Senbei's sales channels, the right to speak will be in Senbei's hands, as will the pricing power.
